These Cotton Candy Oreos Combine Nostalgic Childhood Flavors

The Cotton Candy Oreos look like a playful new variety of the popular cookie sandwich that join the list of wacky flavors infused into the treat over the years. The photos of the otherwise unannounced Cotton Candy Oreos appeared on an unofficial Instagram account.

The Cotton Candy Oreos are a carnival-esque new version that will please anyone who is a fan of the mix of salty and sweet flavors.

Previous unconventional Oreo flavors have included red velvet cake, s'mores, caramel apple, root beer float and even fruit punch. Introducing new, unexpected flavors into the Oreo line has proved successful before and is evident that it isn't a novelty or gimmick, and may represent the differing palates in a continually globalized consumer market.
